1Anticipatory SetCalifornia StandardsNumber Sense 1.2: Interpret and use ratios in different contexts.Number Sense 1.3: Use proportions to solve problems. Use Cross-Multiplication as a method for solving such problems.Language of the DisciplinePROPORTION: An equation stating that two RATIOS are EQUAL.Examples: 1/2 =2/4a/b = c/d, where b and d CANNOT equal ZEROCROSS PRODUCTS PROPERTY: When given two ratios, this property states that the CROSS PRODUCTS will EQUAL each other. If the two ratios have EQUAL cross products, they form a PROPORTION.Example: 6/7 = 12/14Are these a PROPORTION? -Using CROSS PRODUCTS, we take opposing values and multiply. *Remember to use the Numerators and Denominators on the diagonal from each other. a/b = c/d mean (a)(d) = (b)(c) (6)(14) = (7)(12) 84 = 84 -CROSS PRODUCTS proves that these two RATIOS are a PROPORTION

What is a PROPORTION?(Input)PROPORTION:A PROPORTION is an EQUATION stating that 2 RATIOS are EQUAL.Some people think of EQUIVALENT Fractions as PROPORTIONAL.Another way to test for PROPORTIONALITY is to use the Cross Products Property.Here, 2 ratios are set equal, values are multiplied diagonally, if BOTH resulting products are EQUAL you have a PROPORTION.If not EQUAL, the ratios are NOT PROPORTIONAL.Writing Ratios in Simplest Form(Input/Modeling)Once again, we realize that new skills build off of previous ones. In this case, we are revisiting EQUIVALENT Fractions.When given RATIOS, you can determine PROPORTIONALITY if when simplified to the lowest terms, they share the same simplified form.Example: Determine whether the given ratios are PROPORTIONAL.21/24 and 77/88Here BOTH ratios need to be simplified to LOWEST Terms.21/24 can have its Numerator and Denominator divided by 3.21/24 simplifies down to 7/877/88 can have its Numerator and Demonolater divided by 11.77/88 simplifies down to 7/8.21/24 and 77/88 are PROPORTIONAL.

CROSS PRODUCTS PROPERTY(Input/Modeling)With RATIOS and PROPORTIONALITY, a Mathematic Property will come in handy. Remember that properties come in handy because that give the RULE or GUIDELINE on how to attack a problem.The CROSS PRODUCTS PROPERTY states that if two ratios form a proportion, the CROSS PRODUCTS are EQUAL. If two ratios have EQUAL Cross Products, they form a PROPORTION.There are two ways to look at PROPROTIONS.ARITHMETIC: 5/7 = 25/35 (5)(35) = (7)(25) 175 = 175ALGEBRAIC: a/b = c/db and d CANNOT equal ZERO (0). ad = bcUsing the CROSS PRODUCTS Property(Input/Modeling)Example #2:Do the pairs of ratios form a proportion?4/11 and 12/44Use Cross Products(4)(44) = (11)(12)176 = 132Note how the Cross Products do not equal the same product.The pair of ratios is NOT PROPORTIONALExample #3Do the pairs of ratios form a proportion?12/19 and 60/95 Use Cross Products Property(12)(95) = (19)(60)1,140 = 1,140Note how the Cross Products equal the same product.The pair of ratios is PROPORTIONAL

The Big IdeaPROPORTIONSA pair of ratios that equal one another.There are two ways to determine whether the pairs of ratios are a true PROPORTION.One method is to simplify both ratios to the lowest terms. If the result is the same, they are a PROPORTION.CROSS PRODUCTS PROPERTYCross Products Property states that a pair of Ratios are a PROPORTION when their cross products equal the same value.Remember that you are taking the NUMERATOR from one Ratio and MUTLIPLYING it by the DENOMINATOR of the other. Do this two times on the diagonal and you are done.Once the cross products are determined, check the result for equality.Check for UnderstandingPlease determine the BEST answer for the following expression.Carry out ALL work and calculations in your NOTES for later reference Please write your answer on your wipe boards and wait for the teachers signal.
